Anatomy of a Fiber Optic Solution

Amplifier

Fiber Head

To PLC & Power Supply

5

Digital Fiber Amplifier

Purpose: Contains Light Emitter & Receiver

Calibration: Pushbutton or Potentiometer (Trim-pot)

Display: No display, Single display, or Double display

6

Fiber Optic Sensor Heads

Purpose: Provide pathway for transmitted & received light

Types: Thru-beam, reflective, retro-reflective

Shapes: Cylindrical, threaded, flat, sleeved

Specialty Fibers: High temperature, robotic high flex, chemical or oil resistant, area beam, liquid level, etc.

Reflective

Thru-beam

Q: Who can tell me the difference between a thru-beam and a reflective style design?
